ABS CONTROL MODULE
Our car’s anti-lock brakes consist of four main parts: speed sensors, computer control module, valves and pump. Every wheel on your vehicle has a sensor that monitors its speed and the computer control module monitors each of these sensors and when it senses that one of our tires is about to become locked and it closes the solenoid valve that provides braking fluid to the tire. In doing so, it allows the tire is rotating to adjust the driving environment in a way that just prevents it from locking up. Once the problem has been removed, the control module reopens the associated solenoid valve to provide the braking fluid.
Driving With Anti-Lock Brakes
If you have never driven a vehicle with ABS CONROL MODULE, you will be surprised to discover the pedal offers more resistance than in the cars with the conventional braking systems. Do not be concerned as it is normal. Also, you will notice that when the anti-lock feature engages in order to stop locking, there’s a mild pulsing sensation that we will feel through the pedal.
One of the common misunderstandings that motorists have about ABS control module ON is that they do need to jump over their brakes in order to slow down without locking their wheels. Pumping the pedal is unnecessary as the speed sensors; control module, hydraulic pump, and valves work all together to prevent your wheels from locking.
